Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

There were always going to be people like this in the world, who lived perfectly fine lives but would insist on comparing themselves to others and in turn upsetting themselves.

Yena felt like she was wronged, and that God was unfair.

She shook her head, her eyes shining with tears and they slid down her face. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault… I shouldn’t have said Lilly was dead…”

Hannah landed another kick on her. “You just said it again!”

Yena burst into tears for good.

Mabel glanced at Bettany warily. “Uhh, children act out sometimes, don’t take what they’re saying too seriously… You don’t mind, do you, Old Mrs. Crawford…”

Bettany smirked coldly. “I do mind quite a bit, actually!”

She had Margaret give Mabel and Yena the bracelet back. “You can take this with you! None of us owe each other anything, I don’t want this favor from you.”

She wanted to get Jack to kick them out, but remembered Lilly and was unsure about what Lilly wanted to do, and could only remain silent and stony-faced.

In Mabel’s bracelet, Darkshadow spied on his surroundings quietly.

He did not put the entire spirit into a bracelet, but a sliver of it like he was cloning himself.

He looked around cautiously, thinking to himself: That little thing isn’t back yet?

He had not sensed her presence or Pablos.

The truth was that Darkshadow had not been able to take form ever since he had been disintegrated by Lilly.

Despite not dying, he had been heavily injured.

This had only infuriated him even more. Lilly was only a five year old child, but had been able to injure him to this extent!

This was why he was going to have to get rid of her before she grew up!

But Darkshadow was very careful.

He knew he could not go about this by force. First of all, there was the Palace of The Ruler of Hell that Lilly had. Second of all, none of the other rulers of hell were going to stand on his side if this was to blow up and they found out about it.

That was why he was going to look for Lilly’s soft spot!

With how young she was, what was her softest spot? That had to be her family, who she cared so dearly for.

Darkshadow was going to quietly affect Bettany and mess with her conscience, converting her to be on his side. That way, she would effectively be able to pose as a threat, or as blackmail to Lilly.

Darkshadow was both ambitious and wary at the same time. He did not use pure bad aura right away to reach out to Bettany, but instead controlled Mabel.

All Mabel could feel was a sudden warmth, and she found herself sitting next to Bettany and trying to warmly reach out for her hand as she said, “We’re still a family no matter what. Blake is the Crawfords’ son-in-law, and I’m Blake’s sister…”

Bettany frowned, avoiding contact with Mabel.

Mabel was indignant.

For some strange reason, she suddenly one firm goal in her head— to touch Old Mrs. Crawford.
There were always going to be people like this in the world, who lived perfectly fine lives but would insist on comparing themselves to others and in turn upsetting themselves.

She just felt like all she had to do was physically touch Bettany, and she would have gained her acceptance.

Upstairs, Lilly’s Palace of The Ruler of Hell grew as big as a tent. It blocked off all auras, and Lilly and Pablo were currently hiding behind it.

“Master, will we really not get caught?” Lilly asked Pablo quietly.

Pablo’s voice was just as usual. “No need to worry. The Palace of The Ruler of Hell is the best barrier there is underground. It can separate dimensions from each other, hiding our existence is nothing.”
